The Fielder Method

There are so many layers to this episode it's insane. Nathan must have a show to focus his energy until he dies because I'm afraid what he might do without one.

Actors will talking about it centuries to come. Maybe the most powerful acting method, if it wasn't totally legal.

Also, the teenage actor for the kid did a very powerful performance, he deserves recognition.

No other word for it. Sure, it is at times comedic, dramatic, and even a little sci-fi with the eerie location recreation, but it mostly defies categorization. Just amazing. The one true reality tv show, and this episode proves it.

I've been a big fan of Nathan Fielder's since Nathan for You and was excited to give this show a try. If you know of him, you might have a little bit of an idea of what to expect, but boy does this show take you for a loop. Watching it, I wonder if we the audience are part of the joke as he throws dramatic, sometimes staged within context, moments and begs us to either laugh or cry at it. For me this episode pushed me to wonder how much of this is actual comedy or an insightful look at how strange this thing called life actually is. Maybe I'm just reading into all of it, but regardless this show is brilliant and I can't wait for what other insane scenarios he will continue to throw our way.

The deeper he went with this one, the more I found myself smiling in disbelief; the whole episode was like one of those Russian nesting dolls. Nathan Fielder is truly one of a kind. This has been my favorite episode so far this season (and I can't see it being topped, but who knows); I can't wait to see what he has up gos sleeve next week.
